Is there a utility...

that you can use to turn off and on several background programs at the same
time. I need to turn off a few utilities when I do a capture to free up more
CPU power. Going in and turning them off one at a time is a pain. Does
anyone know of a utility where I can list all of the stuff I want to turn
off, then do it with a single click when I want to do a capture?

Look up "EndItAll". A free utility from PC Magazine.
I use it frequently when recording audio on my notebook PC.

Outstanding!
Almost perfect. (Perfect would have a button to "Restore It All".

Thank you.

A Google search returned 6970 hits for enditall. Several on the
first page (top-10 hits) prominently mentioned "free".

Rebooting is the only way of reliably and properly restarting all
those little background processes in the Byzantine world of MSwin.

What's your point?

If you had followed some of those links, you would have found that they
were either dead links or that the Enditall download file had been
removed from the page. Some of those pages did have the older version of
Enditall, but as I said, the new version is not free anymore, as reported
here (bottom of page):

OK. So how is the new (not-free) version better than the older,
free version? What am I missing? The old, free one seems to
be doing just fine for what I need.
